The Ministry of Industries (MoIE), in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Economy, has launched a digital transformation programme aimed at modernizing the country’s industrial sector.
As part of the first phase, all institutions under the Ministry of Industries will be onboarded to the GovPay platform starting next month. The initiative is intended to streamline payments and improve service delivery.
The Ministry has also finalized plans to introduce the Industry Digital Readiness Index, a tool designed to assess the digital maturity of industries across the country.
Deputy Minister of Industries Chathuranga Abeysinghe stated, “This programme will support the digital transition of the institutions under our Ministry and help identify areas for further improvement.”
The inaugural session of the initiative was attended by Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya, Harsha Purasinghe, Chandima Cooray, members of the Digital Advisory Team, and Deputy Minister Eranga Udesh.
